This animation illustrates the magnetic field line inside a toroidal solenoid by showing the transition the net magnetic field as the loops of the solenoid go from right on top of each other to evenly distributed around the torus. The animation has two segments, the first has only 9 current loops and results in a rather uneven final magnetic field while the second segment has many more loops resulting in a much smoother field.
